What is privacy? Why should we care? Why does Mickey Mouse need your fingerprint? Are doorbell cameras worth the risk? Guest, Hans Skillrud (Co-founder of Termageddon) comes on to discuss how today's world views privacy for the first episode of Privacy Lawls. Brought to you by Termageddon -- website policies that automatically update as privacy laws change.
Creating website policies can feel pretty overwhelming. It's easy to think copying and pasting templates will do, but this shortcut can put both agencies and clients at risk. In this episode, I was really pumped to chat again with Hans from Termageddon. He walks us through his journey of building a tool that does the heavy lifting. He shares valuable insights into building a business on a firm foundation and developing relationships that last. Full show notes: https://trailblazer.fm/privacy-policies/
Keeping up with data protection and privacy laws is exhausting. Nearly every month, new legislation is being introduced state by state to help keep users' data protected online. And while this is overall a good thing, it can get really messy if agency owners aren't educated and informing their clients about what this means when they build out their websites. Luckily, our guest today, Hans Skillrud, has collaborated with his wife to create an easy, self-updating tool that agency owners can implement on their own websites and the sites they build for their clients. He has committed himself to ensuring that data protection tools and documentation are easily accessible for anyone without needing a legal degree to make sense of it all. In this episode, you'll learn why you must educate yourself and your clients on the most current privacy policy and data protection laws, why not to cut corners in this department, and why you should never collect more data than you actually need. Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal right now, with the constantly changing environment of privacy laws, you never know when you could end up in a mess, even five years later. Don't delay on this, and get your documentation in check today. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

What is needed is to add a JVM argument to the server. In my case I am using Ortus CommandBox and their ‘server.json' definition. I added this in the ‘jvm' section:```"jvm":{ "args":[ "-Dcoldfusion.datemask.useDasdayofmonth=true" ]}```That's the only change that is needed; the mentioned JAR hotfix is not needed. Omitting that setting has the same effect as setting it to ‘false'.https://www.evagoras.com/2023/04/24/clarifying-the-use-of-the-dateformat-d-mask-for-acf2021/5/2/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Hosting Google Fonts Locally For GDPR ComplianceOn episode 607 of the Syntax podcast, Wes and Scott interviewed the co-founders of Termageddon, a consulting company that helps websites create and maintain compliant policies.

Welcome to another episode of the Profitable Web Designer Podcast where we're committed to helping web designers stop undercharging, over-delivering, overworking and create profitable, sustainable web design businesses. I'm your host, Shannon Mattern, founder of the Web Designer Academy where we teach the business side of running a web design business, and today I'm talking with the Co-Founder of Termageddon, Hans Skillrud. He educates web designers and agencies about website policies including privacy policies, cookie policies and all the policies you may be avoiding and not giving much thought to. “You have to have a strategy to keep up to date with the ever changing privacy law landscape over time.” -Hans Skillrud In this episode we're discussing why privacy policies are important to your business and how they can help you expand your level of service. 3 compelling takeaways from my conversation with Hans that will elevate the services you provide to your clients: Providing website policies protects your agency and puts the responsibility on your client Solving a seemingly minor problem with major impact to your client adds value to your designer-client relationship Embracing the website policy conversation with your client builds trust and potentially increases your business revenue Hans shares his website design journey and his experience agreeing to client requests he didn't know how to do. His story is such a valuable lesson in how we can approach solving valuable problems for clients even when you haven't developed that particular skill. Learning new skills as you work is totally legit. We discuss ways to be transparent with your client and get paid for it at the same time. Having resources like Termageddon in your toolkit can give you more ways to service your clients unforeseen needs and create a new recurring revenue stream for your business. “If you know you can go help someone with their business, you're gonna have a very thankful person ultimately.” -Hans Skillrud Follow Hans Skillrud: Han's Website: https://termageddon.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/termageddon Love the show?

When's the last time you looked at your website's privacy policy? Do you even have one? Are you automating tedious tasks like this? Our guest this week is Donata Stroink-Skillrud, founder of Termageddon, a company that automates the creation of Privacy Policies, Terms of Service and more, and keeps those automatically updated on your site as your website and regulations change. We talk about how Termageddon helps to cover your bases legally-speaking, and why you, as a firm owner of any size, should even care. But more broadly, we have a great conversation about how attorneys should be using technology to automate and create iterative processes for their practices. We want to automate the least valuable and most annoying work, but also as a safety net to ensure high-level service and ensure your firm's standards are consistently met.

A lack of a unifying federal privacy law in the U.S. like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and a growing patchwork of state regulations to keep track of, can make it tricky for your business to maintain compliance. This is exactly why we have today's guest here to help us navigate the difficult eco-system of state privacy laws. Donata Stroink-Skillrud is the President of Termageddon and the engineer behind Termageddon's policy questions and text. She is a licensed attorney and a certified information privacy professional. She often volunteers at the Illinois State Bar Association holding courses on the General Data Protection Regulation where she teaches other attorneys on the importance of privacy and what Privacy Policies should contain. Trusting Companies With Your Data Privacy and protecting your personal data has probably shown up on your radar a lot lately because of the number of merchants that have reported data breaches. Target had a huge data breach of 40 million customers back in 2013. When an event of this scale happens, you realize we can't depend on others to protect our data. It was her experience with having her own data compromised in that breach that led Donata to pursue a career in privacy law and policy. Consumers Pay the Price When there is a data breach, consumers are the ones who pay the price. Between monitoring your credit report to make sure no unauthorized lines of credit have been opened, to closing credit accounts or getting new credit cards reissued, there is a great deal of time and effort needed to mitigate the impact of the data breach. This all comes at the expense of the consumer, who has to invest their time in making all the right moves to protect themselves. The High Price on Non-Compliance for Businesses It can be costly for companies when they don't comply with privacy laws. Depending on the state, there can be huge penalties and fines at stake. However, there is also an enormous cost involved in compliance. Having a privacy policy on your website is just the first step in compliance. Each state has their own privacy laws, so understanding those laws and making sure you comply, for many businesses, requires a full time Compliance Officer. Automating Privacy Policies At one point in her career, Donata ended up being the person that fielded all of the business privacy compliance questions, and she found that meeting the compliance standards for each state was rather repetitive. This led to the quest for automating this repetitive process of asking the same questions and gathering the same data, and with that automation process, Termageddon was born. Business After GDPR Businesses were thrown another “privacy curveball” in 2014 when the EU passed GDPR. Today, companies don't just have to worry about privacy laws in the U.S., they now have to worry about international privacy laws. GDPR standardized the privacy laws for all the EU countries. The US has not taken that step yet, so business owners and the public must grapple with a bevy of very complex privacy laws in each state. Consenting to Privacy Policies From the consumer standpoint, it's very difficult because these state privacy laws require all these disclosures, making privacy policies really long, really difficult to read. There's a lot of information there. It's very hard for consumers to understand which privacy rights apply to whom. The privacy laws also don't explain the gray areas like how they define a resident, and when a person officially becomes a resident of a state. Pitfalls of the Patchwork Different state laws have different definitions of what it means to sell data. But some companies are saying, we don't really sell your data, but according to California's law, we do. This makes it confusing for both businesses and consumers to understand what their privacy rights and obligations are. Links: Termageddon IAPP Committee ABA Committees Donata on LinkedIn
Podcast editors: Do you have a website? Do you know whether your website is working for or against your business? Most of us are incredibly good at podcast production and might even have some basic web design skills. But that doesn't mean that we're all experts on branding, user experience, accessibility, and more. We know that a great website can be an incredible asset for our businesses. But how can we make the most of our websites? How can we know for sure what we should include and what we should leave out? How can we know when we should just do it ourselves and when it's time to bring in a pro to help us? We don't know either... But Tara Kelly of Tansy Aster Creative does. She's a brand strategist, web developer, video and music producer, copywriter, and so much more. And she's going to be joining us to share what we need to know. We don't plan for this to be just another one of those "why you need a website" episodes. We're planning to talk about what's important to make sure you include, what you might want to leave out, common mistakes, some show-and-tell examples, and more. And, of course, if you're joining us live in the chat, you'll have your chance to share your questions so that we can do our best to make sure we're getting you exactly what you need right now.

I have a BA in Film & Digital Media from the University of California Santa Cruz, a Brand Management Certificate from Cornell University, and over a decade of professional experience working as a brand strategist + designer, web developer, video and music producer, and copywriter. Telling a damn good story is what gets me up in the morning. In my career, I've worked with nonprofits, thought leaders, multi-published authors, healthcare organizations, and organizations focused on social responsibility and sustainability. I strive to make the world a more inclusive and accessible place for all.
